The FBI‘s incorrect use of surveillance powers on an unnamed U.S. Senator; state lawmaker; and even a judge has been documented by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC), which found the bureau conducted four “Section 702” information queries into the figures who alleged civil rights violations.
FBI officials argue that Section 702 allows them to spy on their “highest priority work,” including China, Russia, and terrorism and cybersecurity threats, without needing to seek a warrant. But there is deep concern about its use as a “backdoor tool” for collecting information on Americans.

President Biden hopes Congress will renew Section 702 after it is set to expire at the end of 2023, with Democrats and Republicans alike announcing they will not go ahead with any renewals without “significant reforms.”
“The FBI continues to break the rules put in place to protect Americans, running illegal searches on public officials including a U.S. senator, and it’s long past time for Congress to step in,” argued the deputy director of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU)’s National Security Project, Patrick Toomey.
“As Congress debates reauthorizing Section 702, these opinions make clear why fundamental reforms are urgently needed,” Toomey added.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Roughly $18 billion in New York City infrastructure projects have been put on hold to ensure funding is not flowing based on unconstitutional DEI principles,” said Vought.
🎯IMPACT: The funding freeze affects the Hudson River Tunnel Project and the Second Avenue Subway project, with further updates expected from the U.S. Department of Transportation.

Russell Vought, Director of the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB), announced on Wednesday that the Trump administration has frozen approximately $18 billion in infrastructure funding for New York City. The decision was made to ensure that funding is not distributed based on what Vought described as “unconstitutional DEI principles.”
The funding freeze affects majorprojects such as the Hudson River Tunnel Project and the Second Avenue Subway project. Vought made the announcement via posts on social media platform X (formerly Twitter).
“Roughly $18 billion in New York City infrastructure projects have been put on hold to ensure funding is not flowing based on unconstitutional DEI principles,” Vought wrote. He indicated that more information would be forthcoming from the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT).
Roughly $18 billion in New York City infrastructure projects have been put on hold to ensure funding is not flowing based on unconstitutional DEI principles. More info to come soon from @USDOT.
The announcement coincided with the first day of a U.S. government shutdown after Democrats in Congress refused to pass stopgap funding bills. However, Vought clarified that the funding freeze is unrelated to the government shutdown.

❓WHAT HAPPENED: A significant deployment of U.S. Air Force KC-135 Stratotankers has been observed moving into the Middle East, signaling increased military readiness amid rising tensions with Iran.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Aircraft have been tracked in recent days departing from Atlantic bases and arriving at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, a key U.S. Central Command hub.
💬KEY QUOTE: “The moment Israel starts a war, we will also enter a war with the United States.” – Major General Mohsen Rezaei, former commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
🎯IMPACT: The deployment underscores the potential for rapid escalation in the Middle East.
IN FULL
The U.S. Air Force has shifted a number of KC-135 Stratotankers to the Middle East over the last 48 hours. Data from flight trackers indicates planes leaving bases along the Atlantic and gathering at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, which serves as the main hub for U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM). This move reflects a clear boost in American military preparedness and could signal renewed strikes against Iran’s nuclear facilities. Tehran has threatened reprisals against potential strikes.
This abrupt influx of numerous KC-135 tankers occurs during a period of extreme instability in the region. Comparable major troop shifts occurred right before U.S. intervention in the 12-Day War between Israel and Iran in June, with the U.S. bombing sites critical to the Iranian nuclear program. By amassing refueling resources in Qatar, the U.S. ensures rapid deployment capabilities throughout the area.
Iran has asserted its readiness for war, while claiming it won’t initiate hostilities. Mohammad Jafar Asadi, the deputy for inspections, stated that Tehran would expand its missile reach “to wherever necessary” and threatened a strong counteraction if targeted, rejecting demands from the U.S. and Europe to curb its missile production.
On Sunday, Major General Mohsen Rezaei, the former chief of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard (IRGC), cautioned that a lone Israeli attack might spark a broader regional conflict drawing in the U.S., declaring, “The moment Israel starts a war, we will also enter a war with the United States.”
President Donald J. Trump has signed an Executive Order warning that “The United States shall regard any armed attack on the territory, sovereignty, or critical infrastructure of the State of Qatar as a threat to the peace and security of the United States.”
While this has been interpreted by many as a rebuke to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who recently launched an attack on Hamas targets in Qatar against U.S. wishes, it is likely also a warning to Iran, which launched missiles at the Gulf state after the U.S. strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The survey was conducted by Merlin Strategies, with findings relevant to the next British general election, which must be held sometime between now and 2029.
💬KEY QUOTE: “Gen-Z is very different. Very different to Millennials. I see a lot more ambition, I see a lot more rejection of what they’re being indoctrinated with at school and university.” – Nigel Farage
🎯IMPACT: Reform’s popularity among teens could significantly influence the next general election, with projections already showing the populist party on track to place first with 311 seats in the House of Commons.
IN FULL
The future of the British political landscape is shifting to the populist right, with a poll finding that Brexit champion and Reform Party leader Nigel Farage is by far the most popular politician among under-18s.
Despite Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s left-wing Labour Party attempting to smear Farage as a “racist” and the “single greatest threat” to the country’s “way of life,” these attacks do not appear to be resonating with the youth the way they have with older generations. According to a survey from Merlin Strategies for the New Statesman, of the 13 to 17-year-olds who intend on voting in the next general election—which must be held no later than 2029—33 per cent said that they would vote for Farage’s Reform party, compared to 27 per cent for Labour, and 12 per cent for formerly governing Conservatives (Tories) and the far-left Greens.
Farage’s personal popularity also stands out, with 38 percent of British teens viewing him favorably, compared to 25 percent for Prime Minister Starmer, 23 percent for far-left former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, who is attempting to launch a third party focused on Muslim issues, and just 16 percent for Tory leader Kemi Badenoch.
Notably, Farage’s friend and ally, President Donald J. Trump, is the second-most popular politician among British teens, at 28 percent.
“It’s happening. Gen-Z is very different. Very different to Millennials. I see a lot more ambition, I see a lot more rejection of what they’re being indoctrinated with at school and university,” Farage said of the British youth last June.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Jack Ciattarelli, Republican candidate, and Mikie Sherrill, Democratic candidate.
📍WHEN & WHERE: The poll was released in New Jersey, October 2025.
💬KEY QUOTE: “Voters across the board want a change (76%).” – Quantus Insights Poll
🎯IMPACT: The race is now considered a dead heat, with significant gains by Ciattarelli among Independent voters.
IN FULL
Republican candidate Jack Ciattarelli is now running neck and neck with Democrat Rep. Mikie Sherrill in the New Jersey gubernatorial race, according to a new poll. The Quantus Insights Poll shows Sherrill narrowly leading Ciattarelli 48.1 percent to 45.8 percent among likely voters, a margin within the poll’s error range.
This marks a significant shift from earlier surveys, including a Labor Day poll where Sherrill held a 10-point lead. Ciattarelli’s recent surge is attributed to his strong performance among Independent voters, where he leads 51 percent to 38 percent.
For much of the campaign, Sherrill maintained a comfortable lead over Ciattarelli. However, recent polling has indicated a tightening race, now considered a dead heat. She has been hurt in part by a scandal related to cheating at the U.S. Naval Academy, which saw her barred from walking with her classmates at her graduation.
Sherrill’s advantage has decreased to a 4.7 percentage point lead in the latest RealClearPolitics polling aggregate. Notably, this aggregate underestimated Ciattarelli’s support by about five points in the 2021 election.
Joe Biden officially won New Jersey by 16 points in 2020, but by only six points in 2024—one of the biggest improvements for President Donald J. Trump nationwide.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Members of Congress and federal government agencies.
📍WHEN & WHERE: The shutdown began on Wednesday at midnight, affecting federal operations nationwide.
💬KEY QUOTE: “The Far Left faction of Senate Democrats shut down the government because we wouldn’t give them hundreds of billions of dollars for healthcare benefits for illegal aliens. It’s craziness—and people are going to suffer because of it.” — Vice President J.D. Vance
🎯IMPACT: Government services and programs have been halted, affecting millions of Americans.
IN FULL
Much of the federal government shut down on Wednesday after Congress failed to reach a deal to keep government programs and services running before the midnight deadline. The inability to pass a funding bill has led to a significant disruption in government operations, with federal agencies forced to suspend services and furlough employees.
Senate Democrats blocked an eleventh-hour short-term funding bill that would have averted the shutdown late Tuesday, insisting the legislation include an extension of Obamacare tax credits, which are set to expire at the end of the year. Millions of Americans rely on these credits to lower healthcare costs. Republicans, however, argue that extending the credits would lead to increased taxpayer-funded healthcare for illegal immigrants.
“The Far Left faction of Senate Democrats shut down the government because we wouldn’t give them hundreds of billions of dollars for health care benefits for illegal aliens,” Vice President J.D. Vance said Wednesday morning, adding: “It’s craziness—and people are going to suffer because of it.”
Vance also warned that air traffic controllers are “no longer getting paid” due to the Democrats’ intransigence.
JUST IN – VP JD Vance: “The Far Left faction of Senate Democrats shut down the government because we wouldn’t give them hundreds of billions of dollars for health care benefits for illegal aliens.”
Notably, the Republican-backed funding bill only fell five votes short of passage in the Senate, with Sens. John Fetterman (D-PA) and Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) voting for the measure. The funding bill was also backed by Sen. Angus King (I-ME).
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) voted against the legislation with the bulk of the Senate Democrats.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Tuesday morning at the Hyatt Regency hotel in Porte Maillot, Paris.
💬KEY QUOTE: “The circumstances of his untimely death are under investigation by the French authorities.” – South African government statement
🎯IMPACT: The incident has prompted an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the ambassador’s death, amid his recent implication in judicial inquiries back in South Africa.
IN FULL
Nkosinathi Emmanuel Mthethwa, South Africa’s ambassador to France and a former Cabinet minister, has been found dead after reportedly falling from the 22nd floor of the Hyatt Regency hotel in the Porte Maillot area of Paris. French prosecutors have launched an investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death.
The 58-year-old had checked into the hotel, where investigators say a secure window appears to have been forced open. His body was discovered early Tuesday morning after a police search was initiated in response to concerns raised by his wife. French authorities also confirmed that his last known phone signal was traced to the Bois de Boulogne, a large park west of Paris, where search dogs were deployed during the initial investigation.
“The circumstances of his untimely death are under investigation by the French authorities,” the South African government said in a statement.
Mthethwa, a long-serving member of South Africa’s ruling African National Congress (ANC), formerly led by Nelson Mandela, had recently been implicated in a judicial inquiry probing alleged corruption and reported links between senior South African officials and organized crime.
He served as South Africa’s Minister of Police from 2009 to 2014, attracting widespread criticism following the 2012 killing of 34 striking miners by police in Marikana. Afterward, he was reassigned to head the Ministry of Arts and Culture, a position he held until 2023. That same year, he was appointed ambassador to France and UNESCO.
The South African embassy in Paris is located just a few miles from the hotel where his body was found. A French investigative judge has been dispatched to the scene, and authorities say inquiries are ongoing.
Mthethwa’s death comes amid tense diplomatic relations between South Africa and the United States. The Trump administration has openly criticized the South African government over “extrajudicial killings” of white farmers. In May 2025, Trump directly confronted South African President Cyril Ramaphosa with video evidence of slain farmers’ memorials, accusing his government of turning a blind eye to anti-white violence.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Announced Monday at a Catholic school in Lincoln, Nebraska.
💬KEY QUOTE: “I am not opting this in, I am cannonballing it into the state of Nebraska.” – Gov. Pillen
🎯IMPACT: The measure allows families earning up to 300 percent of the area median income to receive scholarships.
IN FULL
Nebraska Governor Jim Pillen (R) has signed an executive order to opt the state into a federal school choice tax credit program, a provision included in President Donald J. Trump’s tax and budget bill passed in July. The program allows individual taxpayers to direct up to $1,700 in federal income taxes owed to scholarship-granting organizations for K-12 private school expenses.
Announcing the decision at a Catholic school in Lincoln, Pillen declared, “I am not opting this in, I am cannonballing it into the state of Nebraska.” He was joined by Representatives Mike Flood (R-NE) and Adrian Smith (R-NE), who supported the federal budget bill and the private school scholarship initiative.
The move comes after years of contentious debate over school choice in Nebraska. A similar state-level proposal in 2023 allowed taxpayers to divert state income taxes to fund private school scholarships. That measure was repealed by voters, but a new law was passed to fund scholarships directly from state coffers. The federal program now bypasses state-level restrictions, enabling even high-income families to benefit.
Critics, such as Nebraska State Education Association President Tim Royers, argue the program undermines the will of voters. “Families making more than $200,000 a year are eligible to receive a voucher funded through these tax credits,” Royers said, adding that the decision disregards the recent voter rejection of state-level vouchers.
Pillen, however, countered that the federal program does not deplete public school funding. “We have to have great public schools, and we have to have great St. Teresa’s,” he stated. “And because of this legislation, both can win.”

🎯IMPACT: This marks the first phase of a deal to deport 400 Iranian nationals, a rare instance of cooperation between the U.S. and Iran.
IN FULL
Iran announced that 120 of its citizens are being deported from the United States, with their return expected within the next one or two days. Iranian foreign ministry official Hossein Noushabadi confirmed the development, stating that most of those being deported had entered the U.S. illegally, primarily through Mexico. A smaller number reportedly held valid U.S. residency permits.
The deportation is part of a broader agreement between the United States and Iran to repatriate Iranian nationals. The first phase of this deal involves the deportation of 400 individuals, with this group being the initial wave. The deportees are being flown to Iran through Qatar, according to Iranian state media. Noushabadi called on the U.S. government to “respect the rights of Iranian migrants and their citizenship rights under international law.”
President Donald J. Trump has continued to ramp up immigration enforcement actions, aiming to directly deport over 300,000 illegal immigrants by year’s end—with many others choosing to self-deport. Notably, the highest number of deportations over a single year—in recent history—was previously achieved by former President Barack Obama, totaling just over 300,000.
This rare instance of cooperation between the U.S. and Iran comes despite the absence of formal diplomatic ties. The deportation process is being facilitated through Iran’s U.S. Interests Section at the Pakistani embassy in Tehran.

Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Dallas, collaborating with federal, state, and local law enforcement, executed a criminal search warrant on September 26 at Chicas Bonitas Cabaret in Dallas, Texas, targeting suspected human trafficking and unlawful employment. During the operation, 41 illegal aliens were taken into custody by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Dallas office for administrative immigration violations. Additionally, $30,000 in U.S. currency and various business records were seized as part of the ongoing criminal investigation.
“HSI Dallas is committed to eradicating the vile scourge of sex trafficking from our local communities,” said HSI Dallas Special Agent in Charge Travis Pickard. He added: “Working in conjunction with our federal and local partners and leveraging HSI’s unique investigative authorities, we were able to disrupt the suspected trafficking operation at this cabaret and are working to identify potential victims.”
Among those detained, at least five migrants were identified as having prior criminal convictions after illegally entering the U.S. One migrant, Juan Carlos Salas Medina, a 30-year-old from Mexico, had illegally entered the U.S. ten times and was convicted of aggravated assault, possession of a controlled substance, and DUI.
Other detainees included Julios Cesar Martinez, Victor Manuel Manzano-Ramirez, Gustavo Rojas-Garda, and Genaro Diaz-Perez, each with various criminal histories including DUI, assault, and prostitution.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Ilhan Omar, Charlie Kirk, and President Donald J. Trump.
💬KEY QUOTE: “There is no legacy to honor. It was a legacy filled with bigotry, hatred, and white supremacy.” – Ilhan Omar
🎯IMPACT: Omar’s comments have sparked backlash, with President Trump suggesting to Somalia’s leader that Omar be “taken back” to her native country.
IN FULL
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) is doubling down on remarks she made about the assassination of Turning Point USA (TPUSA) founder Charlie Kirk in Utah on September 10. The Somali immigrant insists she has “nothing to apologize for,” telling ex-CNN host Don Lemon: “There is no legacy to honor. It was a legacy filled with bigotry, hatred, and white supremacy.”
Omar accused Kirk’s allies, including President Donald J. Trump, of trying to revise history. “As a black woman and as a Muslim in this country, I refuse to join the chorus that changes the history of what is on the record from this man,” she said. When asked about the perception that Kirk, who was murdered while debating Utah Valley University students, promoted civil discourse, Omar dismissed the idea as “full of s**t.”
President Trump has stated that he recently spoke to Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud about Omar, saying, “I suggested that maybe he’d like to take her back. And he said, ‘I don’t want her.'”
In a September 11 interview with former MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan, recorded shortly after Kirk’s murder, Omar and Hasan were seen laughing as they criticized Kirk’s political views. Omar called claims about Kirk supporting civil debate “bulls**t” and harshly critiqued his past remarks, including his stance on gun rights following mass shootings and his response to the death of George Floyd.
Omar and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) were among 58 Democrats who voted against a House resolution commemorating Kirk and condemning political violence. Ocasio-Cortez said, “We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was,” and described him as “ignorant” and “uneducated,” arguing that his rhetoric sought to “disenfranchise millions of Americans.”
